DEMI-GODS

i never wanted this
you always told me “ignorance is bliss”
and looking back, all i regret
is taking all that i could get
while others still had nothing yet
    nothing
i listened to all you would say
while the voice of my conscience
was fading away

stop wanting
stop demi-gods

i concede that i do not know
why what you get 
when you multiply 6x9=42
but rest assured i’m well aware
of all the anger in the air
for our home is everywhere
    we go
promises we would reject
are prosperous due to 
our flagrant neglect

stop waiting
stop demi-gods

always the last word 
becomes the first heard
and it’s to late to mourn the loss
and I don’t have a helping hand to extend
they’ve all been bitten off
    another day dies, and in it’s loss, lies
    another loser foots the cost
and adding to insult, my dying eyes see
another demi-god trample over me
